What is low muscle tone and how will it impact my child?

May 21, 2025 by jennifer 1 Comment

“Muscle strength is different from tone, in that strength increases with voluntary repetitions of movement.

Muscle tone improves with a more comprehensive treatment approach that is directed towards the “alert state” of the muscles themselves.

The treatment approach focuses on the underlying sensory processing deficits which may be present.” – Grow Thru Play
